A Big Mistake.

The moulting season, or the season when
hens shed their feathers will soon be at an
end. The process Is one that in certain re-
spects debilitates and prevents hens from lay
ing. The reason of this is that the growing
of new feathers requires all the nitrogen and
phosphates contained in the food AID there is
none left to form the egg. A curious fact
about the hen, and one that illustrates the fore
going statement. is this, il a hens leg be brok-
en- during the laying season. she will lay her
eggs without shells until the break is mended.
The reason for this must be that all the lime
contained in the food is required TO unite the
broken bone. there is therefore none for the
formation OF egg shells. The formation OF
new feathers does not require any carbona-
ceous or fat producing food, consequently well
fed hens get very fat during the mouting.
Many farmers and poultry raisers not under
standing al about these things kill of their
old hens because they think they have stopped
LAYING and are fat This is a great mistake.
because il the proper material he furnished
them with their food to supply the increased
demand for nitrogen and phosphates before
mentioned the old hens will I've through she'd
ding feathers much sooner aud will begin on
the approach of cold weather aud they will
continue to lay vigorously all winter. while
the Young puleis. reserved to take the place
OF the hens may not begin to lay until much
latter in the season. Very many people have
learned from experience that Sheridan's Con-
dition Powder mixed once daily with their
food will supply the extra material needed To
strengthen and inyigoratc their hens. enabling
them to grow new pumage quickly and com

now 10 use Sheridan's Powder. VIII ind that
